I visited some friends last night for dinner (pizza, as they moved house three days ago and haven't unpacked yet). After dinner we played a game called The Settlers of Catan. I do love board games and this one was great... a bit competitive but not cut-throat (although in different company it could have been), some strategy, the ability to come back from last place, the ending not a foregone conclusion... it was loads of fun. My (soon to be) new housemate was there and he said he owns the game too so we'll be able to invite people over to play - yay!

I'm looking forward to moving to the new house and being able to have people over... although I need to remind myself that I am supposed to be studying and this is an important year. I keep thinking "great, I can invite X and Y and maybe Z too, and another time have a barbecue and... oh wait, this isn't one long party... !!" This year I barely emerged from my study except to get more books and growl at people; why should next year be any different??

Random facts about me

• I love God and I strive to be like Jesus. I fail a lot at this, but am happy that God loves me anyway.
• I am turning 40 this year but trying not to have a crisis about that.
• I am constitutionally incapable of opening a packet from the 'wrong' end.
• I read a lot and have been known to flick ahead a few chapters when I'm worried about the fate of one of the characters.
• I paint a little, write a little and knit a little; and I don't mind that my enthusiasm far outweighs my talent.
• I find grammatical and literary jokes hilariously funny. Apparently this makes me a total geek.
• I like meeting new bloggers and will happily visit your blog if you leave a comment.
